Questlove interview:

Pitchfork: So that's happening next year?

?: He goes to Europe in January. The album is pretty much 97% done. He's just finishing his lyrics now. He needs somebody to smack him and take the record away from him because it's pretty much finished. But I know he must turn this record in like three days before Christmas and that his first show is in Europe, and that he's going to do a whole bunch. They even named it the Occupy Music Tour, so I know they're serious about it.

For all intents and purposes, this album is the black version of [The Beach Boys'] Smile-- at best, it will go down in the Smile/There's a Riot Goin' On/Miles Davis' On the Corner category. That's what I'm hoping for. There's stuff on there I was amazed at, like new music patches [keyboard sounds] I've never heard before. I'd ask him, "What kind of keyboard is that?" I thought it was some old vintage thing. But he builds his own patches.

One song we worked on called "Charade" has this trombone patch that he re-EQ'd and then put through an envelope filter and then added a vibraphone noise on top and made a whole new patch out of it. He's the only person I know that takes a Herbie Hancock approach, or Malcolm Cecil and Robert Margouleff-- the two musician/engineers who programmed all of Stevie Wonder's genius-period stuff-- approach. That's the last time I ever heard of somebody building patches. We'll see if history is kind to it.

Not to knock Questlove but he's a groupie! I have seen him at more shows than any celebrity living or dead. I'm like if he's going to all these concerts then when does he work?

Me three

Well he did play on his last album and toured with him, recorded for his next album and D was hoping he was canned from Jimmy Fallon so he could be on the next tour. So who's on somebody's dick? The was interviewer did ask the brother a few D'angelo related questions. What's wrong with you people?

Because everytime you turn around Quest is always talking about D'Angelo, MOST of the time unprovoked. He is always either leaking D's music or claiming to the in the know. I think he WANTS to BE D'Angelo

I definitely can believe that. I think the more he talks the more D hides...

I'm just hoping for the sake of everything holy that it does come out. But I've heard this like the last six years...
